Hi folks!
With both Powerpack 2007 and Free 2007, I've the same problem:
I install from the DVD, then I boot. When it enters the Interactive
mode, I have the following messages:
/etc/rc.d/rc Line 68: /var/run/runlevel.dir File system read-only
Cannot open Log file /var/log/prcsys.log
Cannot create temporary file!
Cannot create temporary file!
Cannot create temporary file!
....etc and nothing else !
Please! What to do?
NB: On the same machine, Powerpack 2006 worked beautifully.

Look in your /etc/fstab which device corresponds to your /var.
Start up with pressing exc and editing your boot line to add "1"
or "single". Then fsck the device for /var.
Finally, "init 3" or "init 5".

Hi Walter
I tried something slightly different:
Under Knoppix (because MDV didn't want to start), I went to edit
/etc/lilo.conf and added a console mode option (append=" 3") in the
start menu of LiLo and the boot worked well! Then I connected as user,
then just startx... and it works!
I'm answering to your post in Thunderbid on a funny 3D virtual desktop!
OK it solve the problem for the moment, I'll carry on searching with
your suggestions
Thanx

Hi again!
I've solved the pb: My machine is a laptop Asus A7Vc and there is an
erratum about those Asus machines on the Mandriva site.
One have to pass "pci=nomsi" to the kernel at boot, then you add it in
LiLo thru Append.
By the way, Walter, I use Linux for years and I didn't know (or I didn't
remember...) that it was possible to add parameters before booting with
the key "esc"... Thanks for the tip!
